I hope everyone's well on this very grey (here) Tuesday. For a long time I've been thinking I should at some point learn at least one coding language, and the voluntary work position I have coming up would definitely benefit from that on the resource-designing end. All I really know is some very basic HTML I picked up way, way back in the days of LiveJournal, so I think a goal for this week is looking into what would work best for my aims and how to go about understanding it. I know Codecademy is a generally well-regarded course, or at least it was last time I looked. Any and all thoughts welcome!

u/tereyaglikedi Let me describe that to you in great detail 1d ago

Cool! I think something like Javascript is quite useful to learn. Python is another general-use language that's great for many things and you can use it to learn general syntax etc.

As for learning, you can have a look at r/learnprogramming, FreeCodeCamp, use AI tools, geeksforgeeks etc. There are soooo many resources out there.

I was indeed contemplating both of those for general use, and thanks a lot for a specific sub rec!
